jagr2713 (jagr2713):

ok what do you think we do first @JupiterJones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get x by itself?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Goo so what do we do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add +5 to -5 and to the other side

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Nope are trying to get x by it self so we Subtract 13 from both sides -7-13 ≥-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ok

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

so we get -20 ≥-5x so now what do we do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 20 to -20

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

So we divide right so what do we get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

≥-5x

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

a negative divided by a negative is a ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Good and the x is by its self so we have x≥4 but when dividing my a negative number, do we keep the sign or flip?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

flip

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Good so we have as the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also equal

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

so the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x≤4

jagr2713 (jagr2713):
